EQUAL TIME. The state Citrus Department has had a contract with the University of Florida for some time to promote Florida citrus on signs at the football stadium and during radio broadcasts of football games. The Citrus Commission, which oversees the Citrus Department, recently approved a similar deal with UF's main in-state rival, Florida State University. A spokeman for FSU pointed out that the arrangement would provide increased exposure for the citrus industry in Tallahassee, ''where a lot of decisions are made.''
